Should the GND (Guard Ground) in PCB Traces Be Retained?

Previously, we discussed various aspects of crosstalk, including its sources, formation, types, simulation, and testing methods. We also introduced some methods to reduce crosstalk, one of which is to protect important signal networks with ground networks. This additional ground network is commonly referred to as a guard trace, as shown in the figure below: Can … Read more
